Description
Abiotic stresses, including temperature fluctuations, salinity, and drought, as well as biotic stresses such as viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, exert detrimental effects on plant growth and development, thereby significantly impeding overall plant productivity and crop yield. Traditionally, the sustainable mitigation of abiotic stress has been achieved through the breeding of tolerant cultivars; however, this process is characterized by its timeconsuming and labor-intensive nature, as well as its inherent lack of precision. Thus, there is a pressing need to adopt advanced genome technology to address these limitations and enhance the efficacy of stress-tolerance breeding efforts. This can be addressed by facilitating site-specific modifications of selected functional genomic elements, thus providing a potential avenue for introducing desired traits to combat adverse stress conditions. Among various genome engineering methodologies, CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as the most promising genomeediting tool, attributed to its notable efficiency, precision, and rapidity. This study offers insights into the prospective trajectory of crop improvement through the advancement of crop enhancement strategies, employing CRISPR technology to enhance crop resilience against stress conditions by selectively modifying or activating specific functional genomes.
